Business Model

Fenbushi Capital acquires either a percentage stake or tokens in the companies it invests in. When the company is either sold or lists on a stock/crypto exchange, Fenbushi will redeem the cash value of its shares or tokens on the market.

Problem

Early and growth-stage companies need funding in order to scale, prove their business models, and ultimately turn a profit.

Solution

Fenbushi Capital specifically invests in companies that are building blockchain solutions, granting them the initial capital they need to build out their platforms.

Traction

According to Fenbushi Capital's website, there are currently 25 companies in its highlighted portfolio, though the fund has reportedly made more than 50 investments in the crypto space.

Competition

Since the ICO market is characterized by large fundraising amounts, competition between large crypto funds is somewhat limited. This phenomenon is reinforced by an ICO fundraising climate has evolved to emphasize large private sales.
We expect greater competition among funds to invest in STO. This is because STO fundraising will be constrained two factors: the amount of equity a company is willing to sell for investment and the amount of money a company requires for its scaling needs.

Market Opportunity

Considering the nascent stage of STO, early liquidity for security tokens may be limited, but not insignificant. According to the World Federation of Exchanges database, 2017 saw a total of $77.566 trillion dollars in equity market turnover globally.
If the assumption is made that any equity issuer can also be a security token issuer, and if it is assumed that private companies will also launch STO, the total market opportunity for exchanges may exceed $77.566 trillion dollars in turnover per year.

Route-to-Market

As one of the premier crypto funds, Fenbushi is highly sought after for investments, partially negating the need to build an aggressive outreach strategy. In order to build an effective ecosystem within its portfolio, it has prioritized investments in blockchain fintech and protocol companies.
